Has anybody tried to compile links with the graphic mode enabled?

Links: graphic mode?

seems pmf was kind enough to compile this, thank you

It take a while to startup for some reason (you will not want to install this on your sd card), but once it does start up it is pretty fast.  Not as quick as dillo, but the rendering is allot better.  The scrolling is smooth on high graphic sites, unlike Konqueror and firefox.  I even went to deviantart.com and browsed through the wall papers, scrolling is very fast.

I timed how long it took each browser to completely load zaurususergroup.com:

konqueor: 25 seconds
firefox: 17 seconds
links in graphic mode: 14 seconds
dillo: 5 seconds
links in text mode: 1 second (no joke)

How long it takes each browser to startup:

firefox: 25 seconds.  This varies... sometimes it takes much longer than that.
Konq: 13 seconds
Links in graphic mode: a loooong 35+ seconds.
Dillo: 3 seconds
Links in text mode: 1-2 seconds

I am going to play with some of the options tonight to work on the speed.

Funny: I actually tried compiling it because I saw your posting but didn\'t reply because I thought the graphics mode did not work ... seems like I just didn\'t wait long enough.
